292 a penance or to fulfil certain vows, undertake a journey to the distant shrine of some saint, like that of St. James in Spain or of Loretto in Italy. They are obliged to go there begging by the way, and they carry this bottle-gourd, or calabash, attached to the girdle, for the purpose of carry- ing water for their use when they have to traverse dry and arid -parts of the country. For this reason these allied nobles made use both of the porringer and the wallet as an emblem of poverty, and to turn into pleasantry the name of beggars, which had been given to them with so much indignity. This is not all. These lords, wishing to engrave on each other's memory the vow which each had made to defend the privileges of the country, even to carry the wallet, took pride in wearing on the breast certain medals attached to ribbons, and very often joined with a porringer and-a gourd. The form adopted by the Holland Society is a fac- simile of the one to which are attached two such porringers and a gourd or bottle, and shows on its face the armed bust of Philip II. of Spain, with the first half of the motto, MEN '1'oUT FIDELLES AU ROY,H and on the reverse two wallets, between the straps of which are two hands joined, with the remainder of the motto, JUSQUES A PORTER LA BESACE,H together with the date, 1566, the figures of which are, however, separated, one in each corner formed by the crossed hands and wallets. Plaster casts of originals of various sizes, in the Museum of Antiquities in Amsterdam, .were kindly presented to the Society by Dr. T. H. Blom Coster, physician to the Queen of the Netherlands. A h The die, which has been-cut by Tiffany 85 Co., is the property ofthe Society. The medals, including the cups, the flagon, the orange ribbon, and the pin, can be furnished in silver for six dollars 13565 each. They can also be sup- plied' in gold 'for twenty-eight dollars C3281 each. Mem- bers can obtain orders from the Secretary and therewith be furnished with the Badge by addressing Tiffany 85 Co.
